(F) the Seller has serviced the applicable Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Contract and Accepted
Servicing Practices. 

  
 -15- 








 (ii) the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Seller as of the

Purchaser’s independent experience, knowledge and due diligence and evaluation of such Transaction without reliance on any oral or written information provided by Seller other than the representations and warranties made by Seller pursuant to
the terms hereof. 
 Section 3.02 Intent of Parties. 

(a) The Seller and the Purchaser intend that each Transaction constitute a valid sale of the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread and all proceeds
thereof with respect to the related Primary Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser. If the conveyance of the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread is characterized by a court or governmental authority as security for a loan rather than an absolute
transfer or sale, the Seller will be deemed to have granted, and hereby grants, to Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now existing or in the future arising or acquired, (i) all
Primary Portfolio Excess Spread and all rights under this Agreement with respect to any Primary Portfolio Excess Spread; (ii) the Portfolio Spread Custodial Account; (iii) all rights to payment of amounts due under this Agreement on
account of or related to the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread; (iv) all rights to reimbursement of Primary Portfolio Excess Spreads and/or amounts due in respect thereof under the Servicing Contract and the Ginnie Mae Guide; (v) all
records, instruments or other documentation evidencing any of the foregoing; (vi) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “securities accounts”, “investment property”,
“deposit accounts” and “money” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing (including, without limitation, all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and under the
Primary Portfolio Excess Spreads); and (vii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, as security for a loan in an amount equal to the Transaction Purchase Price. 

(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in
any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Purchaser may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the sale of the assets conveyed and security interests granted to Purchaser and agrees to execute financing
statements in form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller at the request of the Purchaser in order to reflect the Purchaser’s interests in the assets conveyed to or subjected to a security interest in favor of the Purchaser
pursuant hereto and in the Portfolio Spread Custodial Account. 

  
 -16- 








 (c) In connection with each Transaction, the Seller and the Purchaser further agree and
acknowledge with respect the related Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loans as follows: 
 (i) the Seller is entitled to the Base
Servicing Fee, and Retained Servicing Fee and the Seller and the Purchaser, as applicable, are entitled to the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread only so long as the Seller maintains its status as an approved Ginnie Mae issuer and servicer; 

(ii) upon the Seller’s loss of its status as an approved Ginnie Mae issuer and servicer, the Purchaser’s rights to
any Primary Portfolio Excess Spread also terminate; 
 (iii) the pledge of the Seller’s rights to the Primary Portfolio
Excess Spread conveys no right (such as a right to become a substitute issuer or servicer) that is not specifically provided for in the Ginnie Mae Guide; and 

(iv) to the extent the Seller has pledged or in the future pledges as collateral to a third party lender the Servicing Rights
relating to any Primary Portfolio Excess Spread, the pledged collateral will include such Primary Portfolio Excess Spread and the Purchaser will enter into any such agreements and/or file any financing statements as reasonably required by such third
party lender to give effect thereto. 
 Section 3.03 Participation Interests. 

(a) On the initial Creation Date, Seller will issue in the name of the Purchaser, the related Participation Certificate. Notwithstanding the
creation of separate Primary Portfolios and Secondary Portfolios for each Transaction, the Participation Certificate shall evidence a 100% beneficial ownership interest in the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread for each Primary Portfolio and the
Secondary Excess Spread for each Secondary Portfolio. Thereafter, Purchaser shall be deemed the owner of the Participation Interest described therein. There shall only be one Participation Certificate issued hereunder unless otherwise consented to
in writing by the holder of the Participation Certificate. 
 (b) Administration of the Purchased MSR Excess Spread shall be governed by the
terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Contract, and the servicing and administration of the underlying mortgage loans and/or real estate owned properties that support the Purchased MSR Excess Spread shall be subject in all respects to the
provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Contract. Seller shall retain record legal title to any payments, distributions and other collections on the Purchased MSR Excess Spread, in its capacity as the nominal owner of the Servicing Rights,
but subject to the Participation Interests, and Purchaser shall only be deemed to be in privity with Seller and in no event whatsoever shall Purchaser be construed to be in privity with any underlying investor or owner of the Mortgage Loans.

 ARTICLE 4 

RECAPTURE 

Section 4.01 Recapture. 

(a) With respect to each Primary Portfolio, if, during any calendar month, the Seller or its Affiliates originate new residential mortgage
loans the proceeds of which are used to refinance a Mortgage Loan in such Primary Portfolio (such a new mortgage loan, a “New Mortgage Loan”), the Seller shall transfer and convey to the Purchaser on the related Assignment Date the
Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread and all proceeds thereof with respect to one or more of such New Mortgage Loans (subject to Section 4.01(b)) that together have an aggregate unpaid principal balance that is not less than the sum of the
following amounts: 
 (i) the product of (i) the aggregate amount of Payoffs (whether or not resulting from
refinancings) received during such calendar month on all loans that were Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loans included in the related Transaction Portfolio at the beginning of the month and (ii) the Transaction Threshold Percentage; 

(ii) the product of (i) the dollar amount of New Mortgage Loans that were originated during the calendar month, net of the
amount described in clause (i) above, and (ii) 100% minus the Allowed Retention Percentage; and 
 (iii) either:

 (A) a positive amount (and in no event less than zero) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the cumulative unpaid
principal balance of loans for which transfers were actually made under this Article 4 in all such prior months, over (ii) the cumulative unpaid principal balance of loans for which transfers were required to be made under this
Article 4 in all prior months (whether or not they were actually made); or 
 (B) a negative amount (and in no event
more than zero) equal to the excess of (i) the cumulative unpaid principal balance of loans for which transfers were required to be made under this Article 4 in all prior months (whether or not they were actually made), over
(ii) the cumulative unpaid principal balance of loans for which transfers were actually made under this Article 4 in all such prior months. 

For purposes of this subsection, the “Allowed Retention Percentage” means, with respect to each Transaction Portfolio and any
month, the percentage set forth opposite the Excess Refinancing Percentage on the related Confirmation; and the “Excess Refinancing Percentage” means, with respect to each Primary Portfolio and any month, the excess, if any, of
(a) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate principal balance of New Mortgage Loans that were originated during such month, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Payoffs (whether
or not resulting from refinancings) received during such calendar month on all loans that were Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loans included in the related Transaction Portfolio at the beginning of the month, over (b) the Transaction Threshold
Percentage. 
 The New Mortgage Loans and Alternative Mortgage Loans where the Servicing Rights are so transferred and conveyed shall
constitute “Replacement Mortgage Loans”; the entire group of such Replacement Mortgage Loans shall constitute the “Replacement Portfolio”; 

  
 -18- 








 
the New Mortgage Loans where the related Servicing Rights are not so transferred and conveyed shall constitute “Retained Mortgage Loans”; and the entire group of such Retained
Mortgage Loans shall constitute the “Retained Portfolio”. For purposes of these definitions, if any Alternative Mortgage Loan is included in the Replacement Portfolio in lieu of a New Mortgage Loan, then such New Mortgage Loan shall
be neither part of the Replacement Portfolio nor part of the Retained Portfolio (including for the purposes of the provisions set forth in Section 4.01(c)). 

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.01(a) to the contrary, in lieu of transferring and conveying to the Purchaser on the
related Assignment Date the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread as described herein, the Seller may, at its option, but only to the extent that the fair market value of the aggregate Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread to be transferred is less
than $200,000, and shall, if the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread otherwise required to be transferred is prohibited by Ginnie Mae, wire to the Purchaser cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the related Secondary Portfolio
Excess Spread. 
 (b) Each New Mortgage Loan included in the Replacement Portfolio shall satisfy the following criteria: (1) such New
Mortgage Loan shall be the subject of the Servicing Contract; and (2) all consents, if any, required by Ginnie Mae to assign all or a portion of the Servicing Rights with respect to such New Mortgage Loan shall have been obtained.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if insufficient New Mortgage Loans are available that would allow satisfaction of the criteria set forth in the preceding sentence, then the Seller shall use its best efforts to include in the Replacement
Portfolio another mortgage loan (an “Alternative Mortgage Loan”), in lieu of each New Mortgage Loan that, but for such conditions in the preceding sentence, would have been included in the Replacement Portfolio, and that satisfies
the following criteria: 
 (i) The servicing fee rate for the Alternative Mortgage Loan is substantially similar to the
servicing fee rate of the New Mortgage Loan; 
 (ii) The interest accrual rate per annum on the Alternative Mortgage Loan is
substantially equal to the interest accrual rate per annum on the New Mortgage Loan; 
 (iii) The final maturity date of the
Alternative Mortgage Loan is within six months of the final maturity date of the New Mortgage Loan; 
 (iv) The principal
balance of the Alternative Mortgage Loan is substantially equal to the principal balance of the Refinanced Mortgage Loan; 

(v) The remaining credit characteristics of the Alternative Mortgage Loan (other than as specified in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) above) are substantially the same as the credit characteristics of the New Mortgage Loan; 
 (vi)
The Alternative Mortgage Loan is current as of the applicable Assignment Date; and 
 (vii) The Alternative Mortgage Loan is
not subject to any foreclosure or similar proceeding as of the applicable Assignment Date; is not in process of any modification, workout or other loss mitigation process; and is not involved in litigation. 

  
 -19- 








 (c) The Replacement Portfolio, on the one hand, and the Retained Portfolio, on the other, shall
have the following characteristics: 
 (i) The weighted average servicing fee rate for the Mortgage Loans in the Retained
Portfolio shall be substantially equal to the weighted average servicing fee rate for the Mortgage Loans in the Replacement Portfolio; 

(ii) The weighted average gross mortgage interest rate per annum of the New Mortgage Loans in the Retained Portfolio is
substantially equal to the weighted average gross mortgage interest rate per annum of the Mortgage Loans in the Replacement Portfolio; 

(iii) The weighted average final maturity date of the Mortgage Loans in the Retained Portfolio shall be within six months of
the weighted average final maturity date of the Mortgage Loans in the Replacement Portfolio; and 
 (iv) The remaining credit
characteristics of the pool of Mortgage Loans in the Retained Portfolio (other than the characteristics specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above) shall be substantially the same as the credit characteristics of the pool of Mortgage Loans in
the Replacement Portfolio. 
 (d) Not later than the Mortgage Loan Identification Date related to each month in which the Seller or an
Affiliate thereof has originated New Mortgage Loans with respect to a Primary Portfolio, the Seller shall (i) notify the Purchaser of the identity of each such New Mortgage Loan and the Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loan included in the related
Transaction Portfolio that was refinanced using proceeds of such New Mortgage Loan and (ii) provide a schedule setting forth the New Mortgage Loans (or Alternative Mortgage Loans) proposed to compose the Replacement Portfolio, the New Mortgage
Loans proposed to compose the Retained Portfolio and the Seller’s calculations of the weighted average gross mortgage interest rate and weighted average final maturity date of each of the proposed Replacement Portfolio and the proposed Retained
Portfolio. The Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any objections made by the Purchaser to the proposed compositions of the Replacement Portfolio and Retained Portfolio. 

(e) Not later than the Mortgage Loan Identification Date related to each month in which a Modified Loan was re-securitized, the Seller shall
identify all such Modified Loans, each of which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be deemed to be a New Mortgage Loan but rather shall either (i) continue to remain in its Primary Portfolio or Secondary Portfolio, as applicable, or
(ii) be returned to its Primary Portfolio or Secondary Portfolio, as applicable, pursuant to an Assignment on the next Assignment Date following the redelivery of the modified Mortgage Loan into a new mortgage backed security guaranteed by
Ginnie Mae. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller and the Purchaser may mutually agree that, in lieu of including any Modified Loan(s) in the Primary Portfolio or Secondary Portfolio, as applicable,


  
 -20- 








 
the Seller may designate Additional Mortgage Loans or pay the Purchaser in cash, in either case in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Primary Portfolio Excess Spread or Secondary
Portfolio Excess Spread relating to such Modified Loan(s). 
 (f) The Seller shall be required to designate Additional Mortgage Loans as
follows: 
 (i) On or before the Mortgage Loan Identification Date, the Seller shall calculate the Shortfall Amount, if any,
with respect to such calendar month and shall furnish the same to the Purchaser along with commercially reasonable documentation supporting such calculation. The Purchaser shall have five (5) days to notify the Seller that the Purchaser accepts
or objects to such calculation. If the Purchaser objects to such calculation, it shall furnish the Seller with commercially reasonable supporting documentation of its objection, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve the objection.
If the parties cannot resolve the disagreement, they shall proceed in accordance with subsection (iii) below. If the Purchaser accepts the calculation, or the disagreement is otherwise resolved as provided in this Section 4.01(f),
Seller shall designate Additional Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 4.01(h) below as necessary to eliminate the Shortfall Amount (calculated as though such Additional Mortgage Loans were New Mortgage Loans). 

(ii) In lieu of designating Additional Mortgage Loans to eliminate some or all of the Shortfall Amount, the Seller may pay the
Purchaser, on the Assignment Date, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread relating to such Additional Mortgage Loans that would otherwise be required to eliminate the Shortfall Amount. 

(iii) If the parties cannot resolve a disagreement under this Section 4.01(f), they shall select an Approved
Valuation Firm to calculate the amount in dispute, and the decision of such Approved Valuation Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. Each party agrees to cooperate in good faith with the requests for information by such Approved Valuation
Firm, and each party shall pay 50% of the fees and expenses of such firm. Within two (2) Business Days after the decision of the Approved Valuation Firm, the Seller shall designate Additional Mortgage Loans or pay the cash fair market value, as
applicable, in order to eliminate the Shortfall Amount. 
 (g) As of the applicable Assignment Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the
Seller and the Purchaser, the Additional Mortgage Loans shall satisfy the following criteria: 
 (i) Reserved; 

(ii) The weighted average of the mortgage rates on the Additional Mortgage Loans is substantially equal to the weighted average
of the mortgage rates on the New Mortgage Loans originated during the applicable calendar month; 
 (iii) The weighted
average remaining term to maturity of the Additional Mortgage Loans is within six months of the weighted average remaining term to maturity of the New Mortgage Loans originated during the applicable calendar month; 

  
 -21- 








 (iv) The weighted average seasoning of the Additional Mortgage Loans is less than
or equal to that of the New Mortgage Loans originated during the applicable calendar month; 
 (v) The average unpaid
principal balance of the Additional Mortgage Loans is substantially similar to the average unpaid principal balance of the New Mortgage Loans that were originated during the applicable calendar month; 

(vi) The remaining material credit characteristics of the Additional Mortgage Loan (other than as specified in
clauses (i)-(v) above) are substantially similar to the credit characteristics of the New Mortgage Loans originated during the applicable calendar month; 

(vii) Each Additional Mortgage Loan is current as of the applicable Assignment Date; and 

(viii) Each Additional Mortgage Loan is not subject to any foreclosure or similar proceeding, is not in, and has not gone
through, the process of modification, workout or any other loss mitigation process and is not involved in litigation. 
 (h) On the
Assignment Date related to each month in which the Seller has originated New Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall transfer and convey to the Purchaser the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread with respect to the Replacement Portfolio and any Additional
Mortgage Loans which shall become subject to the Participation Certificate. Such transfer and conveyance shall be effected by an instrument of assignment substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Seller shall be entitled to
retain the related Secondary Portfolio Retained Excess Spread. 
 The New Mortgage Loans, Alternative Mortgage Loans or Additional Mortgage
Loans for which the Seller transfers and conveys to the Purchaser the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread on each Assignment Date and the New Mortgage Loans, Alternative Mortgage Loans or Additional Mortgage Loans for which the Seller
transferred and conveyed to the Purchaser the related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread on all prior Assignment Dates shall together constitute the “Secondary Portfolio”. 

(i) If insufficient New Mortgage Loans and Alternative Mortgage Loans are available in circumstances that require a transfer by the Seller
under the foregoing subsections, or if counsel or independent accountants for the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates determines that there exists a material risk that such transfer would result in a violation of the REIT Requirements by such Person,
then the Seller shall consult with the Purchaser and the parties shall negotiate in good faith for the transfer of one or more investments in transactions that would not, in the judgment of counsel or independent accountants for the Seller or the
Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, present such a risk and that would result in net economic benefits to the Purchaser that are no less favorable than the economic benefit to the Purchaser that would have resulted from a transfer under
foregoing subsections. 
 Section 4.02 Intent of Parties. (a) The parties intend that each transfer made by the Seller
under Section 4.01 constitute a valid absolute transfer or sale of the related Secondary 

  
 -22- 








 
Portfolio Excess Spread and all proceeds thereof for the related Replacement Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser. If the conveyance of such Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread is characterized
by a court or governmental authority as security for a loan rather than an absolute transfer or sale, the Seller will be deemed to have granted, and hereby grants, to the Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to
and under, whether now existing or in the future arising or acquired, (i) all Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread and all rights under this Agreement with respect to any Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread; (ii) the Portfolio Spread Custodial
Account; (iii) all rights to payment of amounts due under this Agreement on account of or related to the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread; (iv) all rights to reimbursement of Secondary Portfolio Excess Spreads and/or amounts due in
respect thereof under the Servicing Contract and the Ginnie Mae Guide; (v) all records, instruments or other documentation evidencing any of the foregoing; (vi) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel
paper”, “securities accounts”, “investment property”, “deposit accounts” and “money” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing (including, without
limitation, all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and under the Secondary Portfolio Excess Spreads); and (vii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, as security for a
loan in an amount equal to the value of such Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread. 
 (b) The Seller hereby authorizes the filing of any
financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Purchaser may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the sale of the
assets conveyed and security interests granted to Purchaser and agrees to execute financing statements in form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller at the request of the Purchaser in order to reflect the Purchaser’s interests
in the assets conveyed to or subjected to a security interest in favor of the Purchaser pursuant hereto and in the Portfolio Spread Custodial Account. 

(c) In connection with each Mortgage Loan in a Secondary Portfolio, the Seller and the Purchaser further agree and acknowledge as follows:

 (i) the Seller is entitled to the Base Servicing Fee and the Seller and the Purchaser, as applicable, are entitled to the
related Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread only so long as the Seller maintains its status as an approved Ginnie Mae issuer and servicer; 

(ii) upon the Seller’s loss of its status as an approved Ginnie Mae issuer and servicer, the Purchaser’s rights to
such Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread also terminate; 
 (iii) the sale of the Seller’s rights to such Secondary
Portfolio Excess Spread conveys no right (such as a right to become a substitute issuer or servicer) that is not specifically provided for in the Ginnie Mae Guide; and 

(iv) to the extent the Seller has pledged or in the future pledges as collateral to a third party lender the Servicing Rights
relating to any Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread, the pledged collateral will include such Secondary Portfolio Excess Spread and the Purchaser will enter into any such agreements and/or file any financing statements as reasonably required by such
third party lender to give effect thereto.

 Section 4.03 Additional Representations and Warranties. On the Assignment Date with
respect to each Replacement Portfolio, the provisions set forth in Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.01(c) shall apply, as applicable, to each Replacement Mortgage Loan and the Replacement Portfolio, and Seller shall be deemed to
have represented and warranted to the Purchaser with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan and the Replacement Portfolio, as applicable, the matters set forth in Section 3.01(e).

having a higher priority:

to the Seller of any Primary Portfolio Retained Spread pursuant to clause (B), the Primary Portfolio Retained Spread shall be applied to the payment of any indemnity payments then due and payable by the Seller to the Purchaser or its related
indemnified persons under Section 8.03; and 
 (iv) fourth, to the Seller, any other amounts remaining on
deposit in the Portfolio Spread Custodial Account with respect to the Primary Portfolio Collections.

 SERVICING AND OTHER MATTERS 

Section 7.01 Seller’s Duties with Respect to Servicing. 

(a) Effective on the Transaction Settlement Date for each Transaction Portfolio, the Seller agrees for the benefit of the Purchaser to service
the related Transaction Portfolio Mortgage Loans at all times in all material respects with the Servicing Contract. In connection with the Portfolio Mortgage Loans related to each Transaction, the Seller shall not, without the express written
consent of Purchaser (which consent may be withheld in its absolute discretion), (a) terminate or amend any Servicing Rights, or (b) enter into any termination, modification, waiver or amendment of the Servicing Contract or its rights and
duties thereunder. 
 (b) Under no circumstances shall the Purchaser be responsible for the servicing acts and omissions of the Seller or
any other servicer or any originator of the Mortgage Loans, or for any servicing related obligations or liabilities of any servicer under the Servicing Contract or the Ginnie Mae Guide or any Person under the Mortgage Loan Documents, or for any
other obligations or liabilities of the Seller. 
 (c) Upon the termination of the Seller as servicer under the Servicing Contract or Ginnie
Mae Guide, the Seller shall remain liable to the Purchaser and Ginnie Mae for all liabilities and obligations incurred by the Seller while the Seller was acting as the servicer thereunder.

Guide, as between the parties hereto, the Seller shall be entitled to servicing fees on the Primary Portfolio and any Secondary Portfolio only to the extent of the applicable Base Servicing Fee and only to the extent that funds available for the
payment of such Base Servicing Fee are available in the Portfolio Spread Custodial Account. Under no circumstances shall the Purchaser be liable to the Seller for the payment of any Base Servicing Fee. The portion of the Base Servicing Fee relating
to a Secondary Portfolio Mortgage Loan shall begin to accrue as of the commencement of the Collection Period in which the related Assignment Date occurs but in no event shall such portion accrue on any day on which the portion of the Base Servicing
Fee relating to the Primary Portfolio Mortgage Loan in respect of which such Secondary Portfolio Mortgage Loan became a Secondary Portfolio Mortgage Loan also accrue. 

Section 7.03 Reporting. In connection with each Transaction, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser monthly reports, and afford
the Purchaser access to information, at such times and in such form and substance as are set forth in the related Confirmation or as may reasonably be agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser.

“Participation  

  
 -31- 








 
Certificate Registrar”). Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the right to receive payments with respect to a Participation Interest hereunder may be
transferred only if the Transfer is registered on such record of ownership and the transferee is identified as the owner of an interest in the obligation. The Seller shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of each Participation Interest (as
recorded on such record of ownership) as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in a Participation Interest or hereunder on the part of any other person or entity.

 Section 9.21 Expense Reserve. 

Notwithstanding anything in Section 8.03, in the event that counsel or independent accountants for a Protected REIT determine that
there exists a material risk that any amounts due to the Purchaser under Section 8.03 hereof would be treated as Nonqualifying Income for such Protected REIT upon the payment of such amounts to the Purchaser, the amount paid to the
Purchaser, pursuant to this Agreement in any tax year shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be paid to the Purchaser in such year without causing such Protected REIT to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for such year, determined as if the
payment of such amount were Nonqualifying Income as determined by such counsel or independent accountants to such Protected REIT. If the amount payable for any tax year under the preceding sentence is less than the amount which the Person obligated
to make payment under Section 8.03 would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, pursuant to such Section 8.03 of this Agreement (the “Expense Amount”), then:
(1) such obligated Person shall place the Expense Amount into an escrow account (the “Expense Escrow Account”) using an escrow agent and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and shall not release any portion thereof
to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser, shall not be entitled to any such amount, unless and until the Purchaser, delivers to such obligated Person, at the sole option of such Protected REIT, (i) an opinion (an “Expense Amount Tax
Opinion”) of such Protected REIT’s tax counsel to the effect that such amount, if and to the extent paid, would not constitute Nonqualifying Income, (ii) a letter (an “Expense Amount Accountant’s Letter”)
from such Protected REIT’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid at that time to the Purchaser, without causing such Protected REIT to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for any relevant taxable year, or
(iii) a private letter ruling issued by the IRS to such Protected REIT indicating that the receipt of any Expense Amount hereunder will not cause such Protected REIT to fail to satisfy the REIT Requirements (a “REIT Qualification
Ruling” and, collectively with an Expense Amount Tax Opinion and an Expense Amount Accountant’s Letter, a “Release Document”); and (2) pending the delivery of a Release Document by the Purchaser, to such obligated
Person, the Purchaser, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to borrow the Expense Amount from the Escrow Account pursuant to a loan agreement (an “Indemnity Loan Agreement”) reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, that
(i) requires such obligated Person to lend the Purchaser, immediately available cash proceeds in an amount equal to the Expense Amount (an “Indemnity Loan”), and (ii) provides for (A) a commercially reasonable
interest rate and commercially reasonable covenants, taking into account the credit standing and profile of the Purchaser, as the case may be, or any guarantor of the Purchaser, as the case may be, including such Protected REIT, at the time of such
Indemnity Loan, and (B) a 15 year maturity with no periodic amortization.
